Liquid Monster is the sixth album by the German metal band Brainstorm, released in 2005. The limited edition digipak and the Japanese edition contain a DVD with the documentary Streets, Stages & Studios and bonus tracks.

Norway's Scream Magazine gave a 5 out of 6 score, calling it a "fine power metal album" and a bit more varied than their previous two to three releases. Rock Hard gave a similar score, 8.5 out of 10. Liquid Monster was both powerful and catchy enough to distance its competitors. Metal.de rated the album even higher, at 9 out of 10. Liquid Monster contained "the best power metal you can get in Germany and far, far beyond". After a few listens, it became clear that the songwriting was "even more compelling, mature, and sophisticated" than before.

Powermetal.de published two reviews of the same album. They agreed that the album was excellent. The band "managed to exceed the undoubtedly very high expectations"; "I can't for the life of me find a single weak point".
